Just reading that the majority of SCOTUS are in Trump’s back pocket. They’ve struck down the order by regular judges that require the government to hire back a significant number of employees. Too bad US judges are chosen based on their politics and their greed

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Board member Kimbal Musk sold $27.6 million in Tesla stock last month. Tesla's board chair, Robyn Denholm, dumped $117 million in Tesla stock over the last three months. Yet Elon is pleading with employees not to sell their stock.

Do you have MAGA friends/relatives? Some now know they're victims of the man they supported & are trying to turn away. But it's an actual cult. VERY difficult to leave. Share this link quietly. Leave it open where they see it. Our nation cannot heal until MAGA is GONE. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

Is this a split in the party; a necessity transition point of change?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

2/ Education isn't just about learning facts—it's about developing the ability to question, analyze, and think critically. In the absence of these critical abilities, propaganda has tremendous power to shape public opinion.

3/ In America propaganda thrives, so much so that Americans actively seek out propaganda, not feeling content unless their information has the flavor of propaganda. Without the tools to discern fact from fiction, people get manipulated into supporting agendas that aren't in their best interest.

4/ Propaganda is most dangerous in societies that don’t prioritize education. It's easier to control a population when they don't have the knowledge or skills to critically evaluate information.

6/ Without education, propaganda becomes the primary lens through which people view the world. It's a tool for manipulation, and it can make even the most dangerous ideologies seem normal.

7/ In societies where education is lacking, propaganda fills the void. It's a tool that preys on ignorance and reinforces power dynamics. How to educate at this point in history? How to introduce media literacy?

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

Trump is still setting up the dominos leading to the ultimate and inevitable destruction of this country. Once they start falling it is anyone’s guess what the scale of the destruction will look like… Why is no one stopping this? Why?!

Rep Don Beyer Will Not Attend Trump's Address To Congress This evening, Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt and disregard.

RFK's reckless stance on vaccines puts lives in danger. I’m asking him a simple question: will he change course and encourage parents to vaccinate their kids against measles — yes or no? A child in Texas died from measles, the first death in a decade. It should be an easy yes.
